CGY signs Jonas Hiller to two-year deal with AAV of $4.5M.

 

[ArtG]

Given how he bombed for STL I can't imagine he'd garner much interest 2-3 years down the road.

He's a stop-gap measure so the team has some cohesion in net and we're not floundering through another calamitous season.

That all depends on how he plays. Right now all he's costing us is cap space -- which we have plenty of.

Eh the coach will play the guy that "gives the team the best chance to win". And then Miller will melt down, and we will realize how decent Luongo was in comparison.

So..

Miller for 6 per
or
Hiller for 4.5 per

which would you rather have?

Way better term and money than Miller by a fair margin.

 

[RandV]

Wow Hiller would be a much better fit for our team on that contract.

Hiller, because of the term.

Maybe we tried to sign Hiller and we got our consonants mixed up.

 

[BEERows]

Reminds me of Tort's awful contract when there was literally ZERO competition in signing him and yet they still payed a HEFTY price

 

[Seattle Totems]

bloody Flames.

It's more like 3 years vs. 2 years.

I would take that Hiller deal in a heartbeat vs. the miller deal. But I don't hate the miller signing either.

 

[GetFocht]

Hiller also got beat out by a rookie goaltender and put up a .911 sv percentage on one of the best teams in the league last year.

 

[ddawg1950]

BobbyMac says Iginla down to Minn, Col, TB and Van.

 

[ArtG]

Really? We're comparing Hiller and Miller? C'mon HFBoards...

 

[Zack Kassian]

Really want iggy but just don't see him signing here.

 

[Canucks LB]

WE NEED A TOP 6 FORWARD.

Moulson/Vanek/Iginla/Vrbata

Any of those 4 please

 

[Rex Banner]

Seems like the H in HFboards stands for hyperbole.

Vanek signs a 3-year deal with MIN, as per Luc Gelinas. #Wild #RDS

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

vanek rumored to the wild

 

[bowld]

We need a scoring forward ASAP if we want any chance of competing

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Really? We're comparing Hiller and Miller? C'mon HFBoards...

It's the TERM, not the player.

I just want a competent warm body to platoon with Lack for two years. The extra year takes the Miller deal from great to "meh".

 

[stuffradio]

I thought I read somewhere Vrbata didn't want to come to Canada, so I don't see Vrbata coming here. The only chance is Iginla IMO.

 

[Canucks LB]

Vanek is gone to minny.

Now its Colorado vs Vancouver for Iginla.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Robidas to the Leafs, per Dreger.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 9s

As per @GMillerTSN, Thomas Vanek's three-year deal with MIN has an AAV of $6.5M. #TSN

 

[BobbyJazzLegs]

Vanek is gone to minny.

Now its Colorado vs Vancouver for Iginla.

Moulson still up. We might be in on him too if we don't get Iggy.
